Series writer Robert Kirkman and "Spawn" creator Todd McFarlane join forces to provide CBR readers with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the creation process for the second issue of the highly anticipated "Image United."

This week, Augie runs down some of the current comic book happenings across the internet, "Chickenhare" turns webcomic, a suggestion for Marvel regarding hardcover collections of Todd McFarlane's "Spider-Man" run and plenty more!

Image partners Todd McFarlane and Robert Kirkman talked with CBR TV about "Image United," McFarlane's self-imposed role as the clean-up artist on the series, what it took to get the Spawn creator on-board with the project and more.

CBR spoke with Robert Kirkman about Daniel and Kurt Kilgore, two siblings that don't particularly like one another but need each other to form Haunt, the ghastly star of Kirkman and McFarlane's new Image Comics series.

"Invincible" and "Haunt" artist Ryan Ottley talks to CBR about the differences between the two Robert Kirkman-penned books and working with Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo. Plus, Kirkman himself weighs in on his collaborator's work.

As an Image partner and acclaimed writer of "Invincible," "The Walking Dead" and "The Astounding Wolf-Man," Robert Kirkman had a whole lot to stay to his fans at Comic-Con International. CBR has the rundown on Kirkman's future plans.

From a Todd McFarlane-illustrated "Spawn" #200 to release dates for "Haunt" and "Image United," the Image Comics panel was nothing short of jam-packed, rounded out by a special appearance from Jim Lee!

He's pioneered a new story direction and supplied his signature shadows in the interiors, but issue #200 of "Spawn" sees Todd McFarlane pick up the pencil once more. CBR spoke exclusively with him about it.

The long-awaited series from the creative minds of Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane is finally ready for release. CBR caught up with the creators of "Haunt" to find out more about it and what fans can expect from the series.

The long-awaited reunion of six of the seven founding fathers of Image Comics is just around the corner. Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane spoke with CBR News about the current state of the hotly anticipated series.

The fan favorite artist draws his first full comic book in years, featuring Sam, Twitch and a much deadlier Clown. CBR spoke with writer/creator Todd McFarlane about Greg Capullo's triumphant return to "Spawn."

In this week's Pipeline: THRILL! As Batman punches Green Lantern! CHILL! As
Peter Parker punches a shark! And GASP! As Augie punches clear into into 2009!
Also, where does poor storytelling end and the limitations of the medium begin?

For Pipeline's gala 600th outing, Augie delivers a post-mortem on 'Secret
Invasion,' has an early review of Dynamite's 'Dead Irons,' highlights some of the
podcasts he's listening to, asks Marvel for a 'McSpidey' hardcover, and lots more.

Pipeline has been around for 11 years (and nearly 600 columns!), but has never
reviewed a mug -- until now! Also, how will rising comic costs affect Augie's comic
book reading habits, and what's the deal with "Spawn?"

Todd McFarlane returns to guide his most famous creation as co-writer and inker,
promising he and artist Whilce Portacio will deliver big stories and bigger
changes beginning in this week's "Spawn" #185.
